In a videoconference, two or more people at different locations can see and hear each other at the same time, sometimes even sharing computer applications for collaboration. Videoconferencing offers possibilities for teachers and students to use these systems for a variety of purposes, including instruction (courses, lessons, and tutoring), connections with guest speakers and experts, multi-school project collaborations, professional activities, and community events.
Placing a video call is a lot like placing a telephone call. After you connect, you see the other person in color video on your computer/projector/screen and may even be able to transfer files or collaborate via options such as document sharing or white boarding. It is amazing!
